Venue Information

The River Music Experience (RME) is a non-profit performing arts center dedicated to preserving and building on the Quad Cities’ musical heritage by creating a wide range of opportunities for our residents and visitors to listen, learn, and play music. 

The purpose of the RME is to provide educational programming and live music performances that would not otherwise by available in the Quad Cities. There is no other organization in the area that consistently provides the volume and quality of musical opportunities that the RME delivers to our community and the region. 

Since the RME’s inception, dozens of top-tier national acts who had previously never toured through the area have played in the Quad Cities.  Unique educational programs that never existed are now available to our residents, guests, and visitors.  Musicians young and old have performed for a wide range of audiences on RME stages and have grown as musicians and citizens of our community.
